SPECIPICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent N o 352,908. dated November 23, 1886.4 l Application tiled December B2, 1885. Serial No. 186.425; (No model.)

To all whom it mag/concern; n

Be it known that I, J OHN. R. BAKKER, a citizen Aot' the United States of America, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of,

Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in House-Heating Devices, of which the following is a specification, reterence being had therein to the accompanying 'of the radiator-pipes as placed between the joists and under the door of a room. Corresponding letters in the several figures o t' the drawings designate like parte.

A denotes the-hot-air furuace,whicli may he of any usual pattern; and a, the lire-pot there- In. Into this fire-pot a, I place a coiled pipe, B, the ends of which are passed through holes f in such tire-pot and in the casing, the lower end of the coiled pipe connecting with vertical pipe C, and its upper end with vertical pipe D.

I nto the garretor other high point in the building I place a hermetic boiler, E, and I connect or project into or through the bottom of such boiler the pipes Gand D. Thetop of this boiler E, I proyide with a safety-valve, F, held to its seat by a lever, b, and weight c. From a chamber above this valve Fa pipe, d,

leads into an open tank, G, that is placed on the vsame elevation with boiler E, and is regulated automatically tp be filled up to a certain measure with water from a supply-pipe, e,

through a faucet, H, provided with a lever, f, and lioat g. A branch pipe, h, of pipe-C connects with the bottom of thc tank, the communic-ation through which is interposed by a check-valve, i, allowing water to flow from tank (Si into-pipe C, but not-in the reverse direction.

' luto any room too far away from the furnace furnace, I place a. radiator, I or J, composed of a. series of pipes placed one above the other and-connected to be continuous 4by semicireu'- Ilar elbows, couplings in the usual manner connecting the top end of such radiator with abranch pipe, jor k, of pipe D, and thebottom end with a branch pipe, Z or m, of pipe C.

Water,being lilled into tank Gthrough faucet E to the same level as such tank G,I1ntil faucet -H is automatically closed by lioat-vg; The wa-` ter in. the coiled pipe B, beingA heated by the incandescent coal in contact therewith, will H, will first lill all the pipes and then the boiler 6o rise up in pipe D and intorits branches j k, v

whilea new supply is furnished from pipe C and its branches l m, whereby a circulation of hot water is produced through the radiators I and J, -while any steam generated in coil B will separate from the water and will'rise in to boiler 7o E, whence, as soon as the pressure 'therein becomes sufficient to raise safety-valves F, steam will pass o into tank G, to be condensed and to' warm the water contained in such tanl'- to such a degree thatwill keep it from freezlng. Any waste of water thus escaping -from the pipes and boiler, either in the form otsteam or vapor, is compensated from the tank G through pipe-h.

In rooms where it is not desirable to have the radiator exposed to view, I place such raf dator under the floor between the joists. In this case I provide a box, L, of sheet metal, that lits between the .tloonjoists M, such box being arranged to have a diaphragm, n, and openings o and p, that are in line with correspondiug opeuingsin the floor q, to be`covered by registers in the usual manner. Into thIsbox L-is placedthe-radiator J. The colder air, being' the heavier, and thereformbeing nearest the tioor,will enter opening p, and, with passing from under diaphragm n and by thc radl- 'ator J, such air is heated and passes cl into pipes, suitable radiators connected with the pipesi omi 4trank G; also connected therewith, as se: fcrtln Y y 2; The combination, with a hot-air furnace 5 and the lire-pob thereof; of coil B, pipes C D,'

suitable radiators, and a. boiler, both connected with'snid pipes, and a. tank provided with an automatic water-supply pipe, and also with a branch pipe provided with e check-valve for` zo forn'iinn communication between it sind.4 the pipes C D, as set forth The combination, with :i hot-air furnace und the lire-pot', thereof, o" coil B,- pipes C D, a boiler, E, and suitable radiators, both connected with said pipes, tank G, a. pipe con-nect- 15 ingthe boiler and tank, and n pipe, h, provideeV vwith a. check-valve, the said pipe connecting the tank and pipes C4D, as set foi-mh.

vIn testimony ivhereof I affix my signature in presence of tw witnesses.
